Something about Jenna’s Navy blue dress makes me swoon. I’m a HUGE fan of deep blues for engagement sessions, it’s just the right pop of subtle color. Along with jeans paired with jackets that Matt is sporting. Jenna and Matt just moved to Chicago from Milwaukee- into the neck of the woods I moved to when I first came to Chicago. (Hope you two had a chance to stop by Matilda, the cocktails are delicious!)
Jenna and Matt are having their wedding at the Royal Fox Country Club in St. Charles this summer. Can’t wait! Oh, and make sure to check out their DIY save the date panels they made at the bottom of the post!

We had the opportunity to photography Clara and Jason’s Chicago engagement photography session just a week before their wedding, as they both moved to Seattle together (but separate as Clara’s bridesmaid put it) a bit after the graduated from NIU. Clara and Jason met in college at a Christian retreat soon after they started school. So with years of finals and college cafeteria food, their love blossomed. 🙂
On a side note, Clara’s dress? Anthropologie. And awesome.

Ryan and Mari’s Long Beach wedding photography day is seriously one of my favorites this year. The colors, the people, the location, and not to mention- the fantastic branding: Gingerbean, which is a delightful combo of their nicknames to each other. And? The logo they made? even more excellent! Given, I expect none the less since Ryan and Mari and a couple of designer/art director Gurus extraordinaire for Speedo and Oakley alike. You’ll see a down into the post the logo and sunny shades, given- I can’t vouch that there were any Speedos there that day.

Molaa‘s venue had some amazing art pieces and colors to shoot with from the forks to the various saturated stucco walls and sculptures through out. Excellent Long Beach venue indeed.

Shades? Provided a perfect accessory when shooting in the sun with the bridesmaids.
